But I was greeted with a colorful large space instead. This place has everything creative from a gift shop with so many unique items, to a large open studio space in the back and a cafe area with drinks/food items. The food items offered are a little limited to mainly breakfast items and sandwiches but the grilled cheese I ordered was the best piece of nostalgia I could have. It was buttery and toasted to perfection. The drink menu is extensive with something for everyone, they also have a variety of locally baked pastries/goods for sale. In addition to my sandwich I got the lavender lemonade lotus drink and a red velvet cake pop. All delicious! The staff was very friendly and even answered my questions about how the open studio worked as I ordered. I will definitely be back to paint something fun and maybe indulge my inner child with another grilled cheese!

They roast single origin coffees onsite and sell them in completely biodegradable pods, which only stay on their shelves for up to 30 days so the coffee always tastes super fresh. They are not like other biodegradable pods you may see for sale elsewhere, these actually ensure you get a fantastic cup of coffee each time. I started talking to the baristas, Lisa and Anastasia, and shared that I used to work for Starbucks and was amazed how the same coffee could taste completely different if it was prepared differently. Lisa promptly took out two bags of coffee and prepared a pour over of each. They were the same beans, but roasted at different temperatures. She gave tastes to me and another customer. It was amazing how different the coffees tasted, and they even had different colors. It was such a cool experience! I bought a box of Columbia medium roast pods, which I've been enjoying every day this week. They have several coffees available to try, along with pastries and made to order sandwiches. It's located in an industrial area, off the main road, but is well worth the trip if you're looking for some delicious coffee. It's become my go to coffee roaster in the Richmond area.

We had seen that there was a Valentines deal online, but no location listed. Sadly, it was not for this location but the server gave us a coupon for our next visit. Pretty nice!!!

The service was phenomenal with our server being so kind to walk us through the menu and make multiple recommendations. We decided on the pork arepa and the steak platter which came with 2 sides, we got the fries and yucca. The steak was extremely tender and flavorful but the Arepa stole the show for me, filled with cheese and veggies. It was juicy, crunchy and just a perfect balance. A fried cornmeal patty with a fun filling may become my new go to thats how good it was. They also have some nice house sauces, one spicy and one mild which definitely elevates the dishes! My favorite was the mild green sauce which had a lovely herby undertone. The restaurant itself has a good mix of bar seating and low top tables, it was a bit cold inside when we walked in but they had a nice electric fireplace going which made the space very cozy. Definitely give this place a shot and try the Arepa! It is also definitely big enough for two if you want to try something else!

The greeter was as expected, very pleasant. The menu offered is a bit more limited than the previous establishment, absent my favorite, Cachapa, as well as drinks such as chicha and Parchita. I opted for the chicken patacon made with green plantains and the fried yuccas. The patacon was flavored well, though smaller than what I'm accustomed to. The yuccas were crispy on the exterior and soft on the inside. All in all. Not a bad experience. And while I most likely won't go out of my way visit, would definitely visit if I was in the area.

I recently ordered the Fruit Dish for $6.49 and was shocked by what arrived. The portion came in a tiny 2x2 container and included 2 grapes, 2 thin slices of a strawberry (not even a whole one), 3 blueberries, and a sliver of melon. For the price, this portion feels incredibly misleading. If you're going to sell something this small at that cost, it's really important to list a description or portion size on the menu so customers know what they're paying for. I'm sharing this because I've always enjoyed this restaurant, but this experience was extremely disappointing. I hope this feedback helps improve transparency and guest experience moving forward.

The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs.

I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,
